you can also call `spawn` (or `open`) rather than `run` to run a process
asynchronously in the current task (it returns a process handle rather than
a return value):
function run(cmds::AbstractCmd, args...)
ps = spawn(cmds, spawn_opts_inherit(args...)...)
success(ps) ? nothing : pipeline_error(ps)
end
